	The M150 was the predecessor to the M901 ITV (hence why it's called the "Improved TOW Vehicle") ~~as a stopgap until~~ the ~~MICV (Bradley) was fielded~~. The idea was to simply provide more mobility to dismounted TOW teams rather than have a dedicated missile-armed tank destroyer, which were believed to be too noisy and conspicuous on the battlefield. After the Yom Kippur war when mounted ATGM vehicles and dismounted ATGM teams worked in coordination to devastate Israeli tank companies, the US changed its tune and quickly replaced their M150s with M901s.		The M150 was the predecessor to the M901 ITV (hence why it's called the "Improved TOW Vehicle") back before the US really bought into the concept of missile carriers.

	For 3 points a mechanized infantry platoon can use 2 M150s. They do not have the hammerhead rule of their American counterparts. The Israeli M150 suffers from the comparison with the [[Pereh\|Pereh]]. These are 2 points more expensive but their NLOS rule and their superior range make them an often preferred choice. Nevertheless, they are one of the few anti-tank equipment in the Israeli arsenal. It may be useful to include M150s if a strong armoured opposition is expected. Like their Canadian counterparts, M150 are still the most economical Israeli option for dealing with armoured vehicles.		For 3 points a mechanized infantry platoon can use 2 M150s.
